[edit] Information
Shanadoo is an all female member group made up of four young Japanese women from the Platinum Production agency. Chika, Junko, and Manami have worked together in the past as part of avex's promotional group, vivace. vivace's works include promotional work as race queens, bikini pinup modeling, and even a few eurobeat style recordings for various avex music compilations such as Girl's BOX. Marina was later added to the group as lead vocalist once the project went into production with noted German record producer, David Brandes, at the helm. Brandes' production works include numerous international hits with acts such as E-Rotic, Bad Boys Blue, and Vanilla Ninja. Released on June 16, 2006 through one of Brandes' record labels, Icezone Music, Shanadoo's first single, "King Kong", a cover of E-Rotic's 2000 work of the same name, later recovered in 2005 by Hinoi Team in Japan, was met with great success. Shanadoo's works were exclusive to Germany and other European markets, such as Austria, until December of 2006, when avex announced that a then untitled debut album would be released on February 28, 2007 in Japan. In January of 2007, it was announced by Icezone Music that Shanadoo's fourth single, to be released on March 9, 2007 in Germany, would be original content instead of a Japanese cover of E-Rotic.
